Gulp was spitting out a lot of noise about stuff being out of date. The
cause seemed to be our outdated version of Gulp SASS. This commit
upgrades Gulp SASS to the latest version.
Changes:
---
https://github.com/dlmanning/gulp-sass/compare/v2.3.1...v3.1.0
This is a breaking change because one of the underlying libraries
includes a breaking change. But looking at their release notes, it
doesn’t seem to affect any SASS features that we’re using:
https://github.com/sass/libsass/releases/tag/3.4.0
Problem
---
You make a minor typo, save the file and your Gulp process dies without
you realising. You then spend 5 minutes trying to work out why your
changes aren’t appearing, no matter what edits you make.
Solution
---
Catch errors raised in processing the JS/SASS files and log them,
without killing the process.
How
---
Use a handy plugin called
[Gulp PrettyError](https://www.npmjs.com/package/gulp-prettyerror).
We keep seeing Chrome:
- autofilling the sign in form with a phone number in the email box
- autofilling the register form with an email address in the phone
number box
This is because Chrome tries to autofill what it considers to be a
_login_. It detects a login as being:
- a password field
- preceded by a text input field
On the sign in page the password field is preceded by a field which is
supposed to receive an email address. On the register page the password
field is preceded by a field that’s supposed to receive a phone number.
I suspect that this is why it’s missing the two up.
The solution to this seems to be to defeat Chrome trying to be clever,
and make it autocomplete based on the `name` of the fields instead (we
name them sensibly, e.g. `email_address`, `phone_number`). The way to
defeat it seems to be sticking a dummy `input` right before the password
field on the register page. This dummy input is hidden from the page and
from screenreaders, so a user should never know it’s there. but Chrome
will autofill it anyway, with whatever wrong value it wants to.
The tour teaches you how Notify works by letting you do a thing and then
showing you the effect of the thing you’ve just done – a text message on
your phone.
This is not as effective if you don’t get the text message quickly. It
breaks the association you make between what you’ve done on the computer
and what’s happening on your phone.
Slow text message delivery can happen if you’re doing a big job. We can
get around this by making your text message use the priority queue.
This was observed in the pilot research session yesterday.
The breaking change page temporarily holds the changes in hidden inputs
on the page. The messages content it gets from the `.content` property
on the subject. This is raw and not transformed in any way, so fine.
For the subject it gets the value from the `.subject` attribute on the
template. For email templates, this will be transformed to highlight
placeholders with `<span class='placeholder'>…`. This means that when
the change is confirmed, it’s this encoded version that gets sent to the
API. Which is bad, because we then save `<span class='placeholder'>` in
the database.
This commit changes the page to look at the `._subject` attribute
instead, which is the internal, untransformed version of the subject.
The support flow was using `yes` and `no` to mean emergency/not
emergency. But not in all places – in one place it was using
`True`/`False` instead.
We were treating anything other than `yes`/`no` as a non-answer, which
means ask the question again. Because of the `True`/`False` thing, there
was no way of the user providing a valid `yes`/`no` answer. Which means
that we just kept asking them the question again and again and they got
stuck in a loop.
For some reason we were rebuilding `new_template` as a dictionary,
without the `placeholders` attribute. This meant that we were never
actually counting the placeholders, just counting the length of `None`
and adding 1 to it.
So this commit fixes that, beefs up the tests, and makes sure that
everything is pluralised properly.
41fa158635 added a proper Jinja filter
for formatting lists, which was better than the previous macro-based
solution.
It didn’t, however, account for HTML properly. It did the default Jinja
thing of escaping everything. Since we render lists of placeholders
by putting HTML before and after each item, this didn’t work (the HTML
got escaped and appeared on the page).
So this commit does the escaping of HTML outside Jinja, in the
user-submitted bits of the input only, then passes the whole thing
through as a `Markup` instance which doesn’t get escaped by Jinja.
no actual template functionality yet - just the ability for services
that have letters enabled to edit a 10 line block that will go on the
top right hand side of their letters with contact information
